Highlights
BOOM clears the air, then hands out flowers.
He led with an apology to Lyss for overstepping earlier, said it in front of everyone rather than in DMs, and pivoted into gratitude — the hoodie, the camo pants, the MF Doom 1/1 he was gifted. Lyss accepted it fast and moved on: "that's a clean slate for me, that's how I work."
"I hope that everyone has their worst day with me."
BOOM's framing of what the room is for — be there on the best days and the worst ones — landed with the crowd and set the tone for the rest of the hour. Also, somewhere in there, an alarm went off to remind him to do peptides.
Three days, no phone.
Lyss explained the "we are SO back" title: Jed had been phoneless all weekend. He took it from there — seven hours with carriers, a Zelle he couldn't send for his kid's school bus, a company offering to text a phone that was off, and the final insult of being told to visit a corporate store right before dinner service. 14:04 "I was like Michael Douglas in Falling Down." He also noted his windows have bars, ostensibly for the kids.
Founder hot potato.
Lyss called Jed the founder, Jed immediately handed the title to Mechsicko with a rug joke attached, and Mechsicko asked only that the rug be delayed until he's actually been paid. Then Jed discovered Mechsicko had ordered Domino's and briefly considered dissolving the team over it.
Brrrbon on clay.
His collection's traits are physically sculpted, photographed, digitized, and layered — Jed praised the mint UX (after correcting himself from "UE") and asked for a snapback cat; Brrrbon offered a straight swap. 18:41 Brrrbon traced it back to art school as a kid, a detour through sports, and seeing clay NFTs in 2021 and thinking he could do it a little better. 21:17 Patron, who's deep in a stop-motion project himself, realized mid-conversation the models were real and couldn't let it go.
The least-favorite-trait round.
Jed used his rare Mechsicko sighting to formally request the flower head be burned. Mechsicko's defense: the character is so in love that a rose is sprouting out of his head. Jed audibly reconsidered his entire position 27:13, which he offered as a small case study in why hearing intent from the artist changes the art. Super later nominated the XXXTentacion-inspired hair 40:22 — not on the merits, but because it reminds him of a Clone X he took a bad loss on.
How BOOM became a regen.
A full origin story: back in NFTs six months, saw Poppy loaded with regens, asked "what the fuck is a regen," decided to watch how the Jed guy moved, bought the one Jed tweeted about — and then got completely ignored. 30:43 He landed on the thing that actually converted him: Mechsicko's pinned tweet about what punks meant to him. "I'll probably never have a punk hoodie, so let me get a regen hoodie."
Why Jed teamed up with Mechsicko.
The intricacies sold him — including the VV trait that's just a check in the corner, built the way Jack Butcher's checks are built, as quiet homage rather than a lift. His repeated note to the artist: put the story on your timeline.
Borrowing vs. stealing.
Prompted by a controversy from earlier that day, Mechsicko answered as a beatmaker first: he samples, he flips, he openly took the punks background and shifted the levels to green. The line he draws is about power and intent — doing it to a lesser-known artist is predatory. 47:58 "He's only apologizing because he got caught, not because it was wrong."
The missing MF Doom mask.
Mechsicko revealed BOOM's PFP mask was supposed to be in the original regen collection — he was running Twitter, whitelist, Discord and art simultaneously and simply forgot to include it. Two years later it exists as a 1/1 in the remix collection. The segment drifted from there into an invitation to pull up to the shop, which the room decided to characterize as extremely small, prompting Burningbush's assurance that it's a grower, not a shower, and pops up like a canopy tent.
Jed's closing tease.
18.5M open editions of Mechsicko's art on-chain, eventually burned down into what he called a performative art collection — plus a token, plus Burningbush building games. Possibly characters in a game. Definitely not another Street Fighter; Mortal Kombat was floated instead. 52:28 And on a deflationary secondary: "we'll see you in 2027."

Notable quotes
I hope that everyone has their worst day with me so that I could build you back up.
You are the founder, bro. I'm not the founder. So when I rug, you know, they're gonna say you rugged because you're the founder. That was always my play.
I was trying to come up with something unique and in my mind I was like, this guy's so in love that a rose is sprouting from his head.
Derivatives come and go... those are money grabs. I feel like what you did with regens is like a tip of the cap.
He's only apologizing because he got caught, not because it was wrong.
I honestly don't want people that just want to hang out. I want you to add value in some way.
Who said what
- Lyss (@Lysss302) — host; ran the room, explained the title, accepted BOOM's apology without ceremony, drew Mechsicko out for the newcomers, and closed on wanting everyone around the project to bring something.
- Jed (@jed_131) — co-host; the phone saga, the flower-head grievance, the Jack Butcher homage breakdown, and the end-of-night roadmap tease.
- Mechsicko (@mechsicko_eth) — the artist, rare live appearance; explained trait intent, his producer's view on sampling, and the forgotten MF Doom mask.
- BOOM (@jpgBOOM) — opened with a public apology and spent most of his stage time on how and why he came to the collection; the inspired-vs-derivative framing was his.
- Brrrbon (@Brrrbon_) — guest artist; walked through his handmade clay process and the burn mechanic, and offered Jed a snapback cat on the spot.
- Patron (@ALPHAisFREE) — stop-motion builder; genuine enthusiasm for the clay work, and a closing note that he's here for the community and intends to prove his worth.
- Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth) — on his own video production bar, regen noir, and the games in progress; also responsible for most of the late-night riffing.
- Superhighgasfees (@SHGFees) — brought his least-favorite trait pick and the Clone X trauma behind it, then spent the back half enthusiastically combing through the 1/1 honoraries.
Worth a full listen
- 12:20 – 16:49 Jed's phone disaster plus the founder/rug/Domino's run is the funniest stretch of the night, and the timing between Lyss and Jed is the whole appeal.
- 25:34 – 27:57 The flower-head exchange: a complaint, an explanation, and a guy changing his mind about a piece of art in real time, all in two minutes.
- 44:42 – 50:42 Mechsicko's take on sampling and when borrowing turns predatory, delivered from the perspective of someone who both makes beats and watched his own collection get copied.
